The Queen Boost rack effect module compares to the Brian May Treble Boost. It is a simple and useful effect.
Description
The Queen Boost is based on the treble boost Queen guitarist Brian May uses with his famous red guitar, VOX amps, and legendary playing skill to achieve his distinctive tone. By design, it cuts bass and mids and boosts the reduced bass and mids along with the full treble portion of the signal. It is a simple treble boost with few options. Besides its obvious use, it can be used to brighten the tone in an otherwise warm or dark rig.
